A Hillsboro diesel vehicle repair shop and its owner are accused of disabling pollution controls on more than 200 customers’ cars and trucks.
Federal prosecutors allege that between 2018 and 2020, Pure Addiction Diesel Performance modified about 245 diesel vehicles for customers in violation of the Clean Air Act.
The Clean Air Act directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to issue regulations limiting the amount of pollutants that motor vehicles, including diesel vehicles, can emit.
